Abstract: The Ni doped molybdenum oxide(Ni-MoOx) as the catalyst for n-heptane isomerization has been studied in a conventional fixed bed reactor. It is indicated that addition of mass fractions 2%-5% Ni to MoO3 can markedly shorten the reduction period of H2 which is necessary for the formation of active phase Ni-MoOx catalyzing n-heptane isomerization. The relative activity for n-heptane isomerization in terms of unit surface area of the catalyst can be enhanced greatly by addition of Ni as well. On the Ni-MoOx catalyst, the apparent activation energy for n-heptane isomerization is ca. 35.3 kJ/mol, which is obviously lower than 49.3 kJ/mol obtained on MoOx. And it is 1/3-1/4 as low as those of zeolite-based bifunctional catalyst for the n-heptane isomerization.
